Episode 10: How To Create A Work-Optional Life

There has never been a more opportune time for women to build and manage their own wealth. It’s been estimated that two-thirds of the wealth in the United States will be controlled by women in 2030.

On today's episode, I sit down with First Vice President & Portfolio Manager at The Wong Group and author of Smart Risk, Maili Wong to discuss the Five P's of the Smart Risk road map, what Smart Risks are and how you can make them, the three reasons why women are better investors than men, and the two-types of plans everyone must-have to take Smart Risks and build a work-optional life.
